on the agenda. we are looking to the coastline. hurricane season. so far, off to a slow start. ahead, the forecast in the financial fallout. dennis: gas prices driving ahead of the holiday. time for stocks now as we do every day at this time. let's head to the floor of the new york stock exchange. lauren simonetti. >> you said it. the ten year yield is now 2.893%. we have markets that are mixed. the dow did, within 40 points. we can get there. we can fall between the key bench part.

we have not seen a four-day losing streak for the bluetooth chip. they got an upgrade from piper jaffray. a nice 2.5% gain from intel. back to you. lori: many thanks as always. september is the worst performing month. with just days to go, my next guest says they should take that pattern with a grain of salt. why are you not as concerned? we know this is historically one of the weakest times for the stock market. >> that is right. that is usually the case.

obviously, some kind of hedging is always appropriate. if you look at the last four years, september has actually been an up month in three of those years. i would be a bit more worried if investor sentiment was more bullish going into this month. of course, the market had a lot of short-term momentum. it still has very positive long-term momentum. this pullback follows a breakout by the s&p 500. we generally should be having pullbacks as buying opportunities, in my opinion.

>> we already have an oversold rating. that number has got an higher than that. it is occurring with the s&p 500 testing some support on it. it would a great level to see and hold some stabilization. it would help generate what we call oversold by signals. really get some confirmation that it is time to get back into the market. >> i know you are a technical analyst. can it go to fundamental? we are seeing yields back up.

it has really taken the wind out of sales of all kinds of stocks. how would you characterize these stocks? >> i would generally stay away from the interest rate set yours. that includes the utilities, the telecom stocks and the consumer staples, in general. as a whole, they are poised to underperform. i think that this move is real. as we break above, i think that is a significant rake out. it targets 3.75 of my work over the long term. in general, the long-term downtrend in interest rates is

still very much persistent. lori: hank you for joining us. appreciate your analysis. dennis: jpmorgan is the biggest loser on the dow at the moment. "new york times" reporting that the bank hired the sun of a former chinese regulator. they asked why they even care. they hope to raise it up to $100 million. greenbacks looking to take advantage of that. today, the final day for organizations to file objections to detroit's bankruptcy filings. they must find that the city is

insolvent and has negotiated in good place with creditors. if detroit is deemed eligible, it will be the biggest case in u.s. history. lori: in the meantime, president obama getting back to business. meeting with financial regulators about implementing dodd-frank peter barnes has the very latest. peter: that is just one of the latest things he has on his plate. very busy with things like egypt and syria. the president would like to keep the focus on jobs and the economy. foreign-policy issues may not let him do that. he goes on a two were later this

week. congress is out on its regular august recess. he has a megaphone right now and he needs to use it while he can. >> every president in their second term, lame ducks get closer every day. the president is walking a fine line of where he is in that timeline. peter: the end of the fiscal year is september 30. they have not worked out a deal to fund the government. they are looking at a continuing resolution of some kind that will buy more time. the debt ceiling is likely to be

hit around october and november. have been reporting on this. he is looking at larry summers, his former economic advisor, as well as janet yellen. lori: funny you mention that. thank you, sir. charlie gasparino will join us to talk about what he is hearing about the replacement. is there a direct connection? dennis: i will take the hit on that. what to do when your company stock quadruples at nine months. why not tell more of. how it is already putting that money to work. lori: the buzz over the new old iphone. dennis: gas prices fading

block the acid with prilosec otc, and don't get heartburn in the first place. [ male announcer ] one pill each morning. 24 hours. zero heartburn. [ male announcer ] one pill each morning. always go the extra mile. to treat my low testosterone, i did my research. my doctor and i went with axiron, the only underarm low t treatment. axiron can restore t levels to normal in about 2 weeks in most men. axiron is not for use in women or anyone younger than 18 or men with prostate or breast cancer. women, especially those who are or who may become pregnant and children should avoid contact where axiron is applied as uneected signs of puberty in children or changes in body hair or increased acne in women may occur. report these symptoms to your doctor. tell your doctor about all medical conditions and meditions. serious side effects could include increased risk of prostate cancer; worsening prostate symptoms; decreased sperm count; ankle, feet or body swelling; enlarg or painful breasts; problems breathing while sleeping; and blood clots in the legs. common side effects include skin redness or irritation where applied, increased red blood cell count, headache, diarrhea, vomiting, and increase in psa.

ask your doctor about e only underarm low t treatment, axiron. dennis: relief at the pump. the national average is down $0.18 a gallon from this time last year. our next guest says the west coast is set to benefit the most. this seems like justice. those in california normally have more expensive. >> yes. absolutely. the price got up to five dollars a gallon by columbus day. we have an easier track to go through this year.

i think it is the first market to signal a little bit of a low. we will probably see gasoline prices out in california go to 350, 75 range. we have some prices below that on gas buddy right now. dennis: for every dollar cheaper at the gas pump, it is extra spending money for consumers. does this the client, is it too short-lived? >> i think that it is probably too short-lived. we are producing as much crude or more crude than we had since 1989. we will continue to pump a lot more oil. they can pump a lot more when the price is 70 or $80 a barrel.

we will see the boom continue. dennis: i hate when i see oil above $100 a barrel. how is it that prices at the pump can be cheaper than you were year ago if that price per barrel is higher than it was a year ago? >> it seems counterintuitive. we were in some markets, there was a brief period for refineries where they were able to get as much as $40 over the price of crude. we are going for more traditional numbers.

gasoline, if they could. make we will have the whole process go back again next year in the spring. in the meantime, i think we will see some of the lowest prices we have seen. dennis: all right, tom, thank you for being with us. appreciate it. lori: i am surrounded by brilliant man. now that i am done kissing up, let check the stock exchange. >> i was going to say, where is my complement? zillow down more than 5%. two piece of news on this stock.

they provide cloud services. they needed it really bad. the stock bounced. research and development is up 60%. they tried to sell. enough with the rockers are ready. that is what sort of has been hurting them they do not get the benefit of the dow. maybe the street is overlooking the fact that they are building a great company.

>> will these companies be susceptible? charles: i worry about the company having to spend more money on sales. >> in the last report, they had 96,000 servers. they are not a little itty bitty player. dennis: thank you very much, charles payne. lori: egypt on edge. more than 25 people die in the region. we will have a live report.

even still the noaa says we're still on track for six to nine hurricanes to strike before the hurricane ends in november. accuweather bernie raino with a "halftime report" on hurricane season. what are we looking at? >> even though the hurricane season is six months in length it's not a long race. more like a 40-yard dash with usain bolt because by the time we get into late august, through sent, you notice, number about hurricanes or storms, here are the months, there is a big up take in hurricane frequency, late august in sent. we normally have one hurricane by august 10th. so we are running behind. the reason that we've seen that is that typically for hurricanes to form you need the right pattern for august and sent and we typically see high pressure in the central atlantic and waves of low pressure come along the southern flank of that high

pressure system and that's when we get most of our storms, late august into sent september but with we've seen this year the high pressure system is a little further to the east. so we've seen lots of saharan dust across the atlantic. and we have that right now. you notice there is really not much of anything. this is a tropical wave. it doesn't have chance of developing because of dry area and rest of the caribbean is relatively quiet right now. it seems unlikely that we'll get that many storms than what we had in 2012. it will be relatively quiet for the next seven days or so but it is going to be an active september. when you add everything up, 16 storms and about six to seven hurricanes, still above normal. dennis back to you. dennis: fears of climate change and sun spots be damned. thank you, act cue weather's bernie ramo. >> thank you. lori: no hurricanes this season but we're certainly not out of the woods yet. my next guest says it only takes one. joining me with how weather

plays an important role in the economy is planalytics. give me a sense what kind of economic impact that has had, not having any storm related damage. >> we have not had hurricanes yet. we had named storms. we have five named storms this season. bernie explained it very well. there is lot of activity out there and pulses that might happen. when a tropical storm gets in the news people basically remember last year and they remember sandy. when people start talking about and thinking about hurricanes they start to shop. that's where the economic impact comes in, right. they start to prepare for storms. they start thinking about preparing for storms. when they're out shopping they lean more toward the diy, home depot, loews of the world than they do other areas, food and things like that. >> overall we're happy there are no storms, right? there is the fallacy says if you break windows you create more

economic development really is not true. no damage is far better than having to repair and spend money on damage? >> that is absolutely right. the numbers bear that out. the diy firms, they have half jokingly say the best thing is a near miss. we want the economic activity associated with preparing for a storm but we do not want the storm damage. that far outweighs any economic impact or economic increase, excuse me, associated with that glazer effect as you say. lori: what about a day-to-day weather? for example, it has been a little chillier the last couple of weeks. i felt like i got to dot fall back to school shopping. does that play a factor? >> that is exactly right. lori, you're not alone. a lot of people very back to school, particularly the morning temperatures. our research tell us morning temperatures to tell us think about getting back to school the morning temperature gets particularly low, it was 66 in atlanta on saturday. that is the high temperature.

that is awfully chilly. that gets people thinking about fall and back to school and opening their wallets and purses accordingly. spending money back to school. retailers should experience a great back to school in the eastern third of the u.s. out west the opposite is true. it is very warm. there's lot of heat out there, scott, every time there is a nasty spate of tornadoes that go through i hear environmental activists come out say, by golly this is because of global warming and climate change. when there is absence of hurricanes i don't hear the other side saying see, there is no climate change going on. why is that? why does no one take that and run with it if. >> that's more after psychological question i think than a weather question, right? what is certainly true we've seen again a rather low activity for severe weather, tornadoes things of that nature, have certainly fallen off a bit. that's what we focus on. but there is the economic impact of people preparing for them.

when they don't come, people relax and i think that's okay. lori: do you think that the diyers, do it yourselves will benefit more or less, to your point, scott, hurricane sandy is still fresh in our mind. people probably overstocked last year and hopefully go through everything. dennis: jugs of water. lori: right, right. >> absolutely. lori: do you get fortunate and miss a storm that, there you go. >> i don't know that anyone was overprepared for sandy last year. lori: that is not what i'm suggesting. >> sorry. lori: people close, but not right in the storm's path. >> no, but you're exactly right. people remember sandy even if they weren't in that region. certainly saw it on the news. there will be a lot of prep ahead of hurricane storm. we call it the law of recently. they remember sandy last year and remember how horrific it was. even if as soon as possibility of a threat people will rush out and prepare. i think that is the appropriate act as well.

you want to be prepared for a significant hurricane of course. so when you start to hear about it on the news and talk about hurricanes, people start to spend their money accordingly. lori: scott bernhart, thank you. dennis: the law of reecy. that is why investors missed out the law of recently. they're -- resendsy. they're busy remembering the meltdown. charlie gasparino is not on the short list but he will talk about who is and unintended consequences of it. lori: let's talk interest rates. been all the news. look at the 10-year handle pushing at 2.89%. the treasury fell off -- paper debate. we're back after this. ♪ every day we're working to be an even better company -

look at bond yields. this is tell you why they feel. they feel he will start tapering fast. lori: 2.89 exactly. new two-year high today. >> that is amazing. >> 75% gain in the 10-year yield since last may. >> five basis points on 10-year. lori: that drifted. yields backed up close to 2.90%. >> what do we have on 30-year? lori: the long bond i don't have off the top of my head. >> i think it is up the same amount. markets think larry summers is more independent. for the short term, markets would like janet yellen. lori: wow, amazing. almost 4% handle. >> based on traders i'm talking to. ceos of wall street firms, market backup, the likelihood somebody will get picked. we should point out two people essentially in the running.

summers and janet yellen. we should point out obama if he had his druthers would like geithner. tim geithner the former treasury secretary. without geithner looks like the number two guy, next in line would be summers. i initially thought it would be yellen. everybody thought yellen. lori: would be easier senate confirmation. >> a dove. full i am employment that side of the fed's mandate but the markets kind of liked her. they like someone that will keep printing money. she is very liberal like obama. that was the initial point. something interesting happened. the wall street establishment kicked into gear. there were lots of people on it. v, you name it, anybody that served in government and wall street and vice versa what a nice guy larry summers was and somehow his name got pushed to top of the list. lori: except for bette midler in the famous tweet. >> and a lot of democratic senators. the appointment will be easier,

remember she needs to be confirmed by senate, will be easier if yellen. will the senate back door the president on this? no way. lori: summers he was very much behind of deregulation of financial institutions. >> absolutely. >> the president back from vacation reinitiating getting dodd-frank implemented but doesn't seem like their philosophies are different from each other. >> great point. larry summers led for some massive, deregulation, it was done with republicans and robert reuben. treasury secretary. assistant treasury secretary. and took ruben's job when he left and went to citigroup. the people in the clinton administration led to deregulation, that obama right now is reimplementing. we should point out this. the fed is now a regulator. so larry summers will implement some of the reforms, quote, unquote, regulations that obama put in that were overriding his deregulation. it is odd but you know listen.

he's a smart guy. larry summers is one of the smartest guys when it comes to economics. >> president of harvard university. >> wall street establishment is pushing him. the other big story the wall street establishment is still pretty powerful. so matter how much they call him fat cats they put him on the top of the list. betting early on was janet yellen would get the nod. no one has it yet. i could hear it is summers to screw up. maybe they find a comment about women not knowing how to do open market operations as well as men. that is possibility with larry summers. lori: bottom line, you believe, or you're hearing from your sources that one of the reasons yields have spiked so dramatically because rare larry summers who might be the president's favorite might have -- >> less after dove than yellen. lori: we characterize him as a hawk? will he take the foot off the gas, hike rates? >> it's a guess.

particularly the bond market. if you wonder why the yields are backed up this is the summers effect. we should point out peter barnes went out last week and first to report that summers is the odds-on-favorite. other places chimed in but this is a market story of the these bond yields are spiking. that's a spike. you know, that is like today, right? we're talking, that is pretty amazing. that's a spike. lori: when you have the stock market down and bond market down, usually they work against each other. >> that is the spike. that is the summers effect. markets are inhaling and taking in the fact that larry summers is likely, likely, not talking about definite. president's choice. i'm sure there will be some pressure on him. likely to start tapering more, quote, unquote more independent. this is all a guess. i'm telling you it is happening. >> fed minutes, jackson hole. big economist meeting. >> who is going to jackson hole? lori: from our shop? wasn't me. was it you. >> plum assignment. lori: peter barnes, peter

nicole: welcome back, everybody, i'm nicole petallides. ashley: i'm ashley webster. stocks are trying and so far failing to bounce back after their worst week of the year. the dow, down 28 points, moving closer to that 15,000 mark. big money manager jack ablin tells us how he is playing this market right now.

nicole: president obama is back from vacation tackling financial regulation on day one in the oval office. it is just the beginning of yet another push on the economy. all details are coming up. ashley: retirement savings in america. a new study said many are putting away us and others are giving up simply saving for the future at all. we'll dig into scary numbers coming up. first, top of the hour. time for the stocks. go straight to lauren simonetti on new york stock exchange. lauren, stocks edging lower. >> exactly, hi, nicole, hi ashley. it is a day when the consumer and rates are in focus. the 10-year popping to a two-year high. a lot of consumer stocks saying that is affecting major averages. dow down 27 points. nasdaq up about 11 and s&p down four points right now. some analysts coming out and talking about some. discount retailers. you can look at ross stores and dollar general are moving to the

upside on upgrades at morgan stanley and jpmorgan respectively but saks reported earnings this morning. this is the luxury market. they had to discount in order to move product, particularly shoes and their handbags. as you can see saks is a loser, down .1 of 1%. back to you. ashley: lauren, thank you very much. the fed taper could be just four 1/2 weeks away. joining us with his take where the market will move until september 18th and beyond, is bmo private bank chief investment officer, jack ablin. thanks for joining us. is this just a small market pullback what we've seen or is this beginning of so much talked about correction? >> well i think it is somewhere between a small market pullback and a correction. i think if you look back over 2013 so far i, we feel that the markets sort of unat the time herred it -- untethered itself from fundamental values mid-march, somewhere between

there or mid-march and april and fueled by quantitative easing, which was probably a smart move. but now that it appears some of this quantitative easing is coming off the table we'll likely, you know, seeing some of this pullback. in our view that if, kwan quantity were completely off the table, and we just had to rely on earnings and revenues, we would be looking at an s&p of around 1550 to 1670. not 1660, wherever it is today. >> that is interesting. how should an investor play this? we have this meeting of the fomc in see. whether they start tapering and how much, you could argue is already baked into these prices although anytime you mention the word taper it goes violently up and down but how as an investor should i play this? >> i think if you're already in the market, the pullback that we see, the safety net, so to speak, is not so far away that it is worth taking money off the

table and trying to get cute. if you're a long enough term investor. on the other hand if you have cash on the sidelines and looking to put money to works, it certainly wouldn't hurt to drag your feet a little bit. i think there will be better values, especially when we get a little more clarity from the fed, you know, next month sometime to see what is tapering, perhaps, is there a schedule what are they looking at? i think that could be a good ingredient, perhaps get to a point where we could finally put some money in. ashley: you like, finance, health care and emerging markets and international developed stocks, is that right? >> yes. and i could take them one by one but finance, largely because the fed is in the process of steepening the yield curve. in other words making the yield differential between overnight interest rates and intermediate term, 10 to 30-year interest rates, much higher and what that's going to do, hopefully at least in their minds, it will

coax a lot of banks to lend a lot of money, this quantitative easing money is sitting on bank balance sheets. by increasing that spread, it will wide the net interest margin for banks an make them more profitable. >> right. >> that's why we like that. emerging market is just dam cheap even after the pullback in growth, they're going to grow at roughly double the rate of developed. so i think long enough, if you have a long enough horizon probably a good entry point there. developed international, never really rallied along with the s&p. we think that, yes, the currencies there could weaken a little bit but if you invest in those markets, particularly if you can find a fund or an etf that hedges the currency there is probably not a bad place to be over the next year. ashley: right. you say one of the red flags for this market is the spread of all the chaos and violence in egypt. you really believe that could be a market shaker depending on

what happens? >> well it's a wildcard, ashley. the problem, we have our forecasts. we can lay out whatever we can lay out but if the violence and the chaos spins out of control, you know all bets are off. that is why, generally we don't like commodities. we're certainly underweighted but we'll not sell them completely largely because it's a hedge in the event that many solve this violence really, really escalates. ashley: one very quick last point, you like structured notes or equity-linked bonds. why do you like those quickly, jack? >> well in certain markets where you have a modest, you know, optimism you think it would go up a little bit but you're not sure. it's a great way to double the return over short periods of time. it is very interesting and they're all different but certainly a good way to do it and perhaps protect your downside at the same time. ashley: equity-linked bonds, good stuff.

jack ablin, as always thank you so much. we appreciate. >> thank you. nicole: president obama is due to meet in minutes with ben bernanke and other top financial regulators to talk the strength of the financial system. peter barnes is at the white house with the latest on this. peter? >> that's right, nicole. the president will meet with a gaggle of financial regulators, eight of them to be exact including federal reserve chairman ben bernanke as well as the head of the securities & exchange commission, the head of the cftc, the comptroller of the currency and others. this is his first big meeting at the white house since getting back from his vacation in martha's vineyard last night. and the white house says he is doing this to convey a sense of urgency on all these regulators and capitalize on the momentum they developed relating to all the rules stemming from the dodd-frank financial reform approved by congress three years ago. this is coming up on the fifth year anniversary of the financial crisis. the president doesn't want to

let this moment go to waste. take a listen. >> there is no question large financial institutions including investment firms and banks on wall street wield significant influence over the political process in washington, d.c. that is the benefit of having independent regulators who can make their own determinations about the rules and regulations that should be put in place. >> the president comes back with a very full agenda for the rest of the summer and for the fall including budget battles here in washington, increase in the debt ceiling, the fight over that that will come later this year, and of course finding a successor to fed chairman bernanke. as we've been reporting the two front-runners are the president's former economic advisor, larry summers, and the current vice-chair of the federal reserve, janet yellen. guys, back to you. nicole: thanks, peter. seems to be a sense of urgency on all those fronts. peter barnes, thank you very much. ashley: very true. oil prices pulling back a little bit despite folding unrest in

egypt but still trading near $107 a barrel. even though egypt itself is not an oil producer. its strategic location is key for supply routes. fox business phil flynn, price futures group in the pits of the cme. phil, we've seen this before. not so much oil being produced but oil passing through the region. >> yeah, they can keep their oil. it is the transportation that is very critical. you get oil from saudi arabia and other countries go through the canal. you have the sumed pipeline that acts as an alternative during times of crisis in the middle east. both of those are a threat. seems like the focus has gone away from the threat to the supply side and possibly the demand side. as bond yields rise we're seeing oil starting to fall. crude is down 32. rbob gasoline futures down $1.62. heating oil is rebounding after

going a bit lower. that could be because of seasonal demand expectations in latin america. we also have another big market that today really turned around. that is natural gas. natural gas under a lot of pressure recently has rebounded. we're getting a nice pop back up. that is up 9.3%. that could be because of warm weather. a lot of stuff going on in the energy complex today and concerns about demand instead of supply route now. back to you. ashley: great stuff as always. phil flynn at the cme thank you. nicole: thanks, phil. two tech giants making moves in the opposite direction. that is next. ashley: general legal bills that could cost the bank big money straight ahead. we heard from phil flynn, oil moving slightly lower as bond yields rise, off about 33 cents at $107 a barrel. let's look at metals for you as well, all moving lower, gold off 5.80. silver and copper also moving

nicole: lauren green. thank you so much for that report. we appreciate it. the turmoil in egypt and libya driving the action in the oil market with both wti and brent crude up more than 2% this month. will rising tensions in those regions push prices higher? we have the energy futures director of mizuho securities. we're happy you're here with us. bob, you had the entire career since you graduated college following energy. what is the number one, i want to hit two areas. talk about areas in libya with tightening and egypt and how that may affect numbers and i want to talk about how it is related to our numbers here at home with equities and such? >> there is egyptian pressure putting upward pressure on the market. that is definitely a risk premium. you have barrels off the market in the libyan situation which is security forces at some export facilities. they have gone on strike. those barrels have been taken off the market.

so you do have, those barrels are not able to be exported through those areas. those barrels are coming off the market. nicole: right. >> so we do have upward pressure as a result of that. nicole: let's talk about numbers. when we talk about oil, what do you foresee? today there was a little bit of rest. we pulled back a little bit. what do you foresee going forward here? we mentioned libia. we talked about the tightening of supply and home to suez canal and mediterranean pipeline which carries four 1/2 million barrels of oil from the red sea. obviously that is a big story but where do you see oil going? >> well, we've just come off six up days in a row. nicole: right. >> we may break the streak today. i still think there is up side pressure. i think it would be very risky to be a seller into this political pressure. it is interesting to note this is only the fourth time we had a

sustained drive above $100 in the wti in the u.s. barrel. we have previously, we've been up to 109 during this 2013 drive. we made it to, to $110 in 2012. nicole: right. >> we were up to $114 in 2011, and the all-time record was 147 in 2008. i think we see that 2010 -- i'm sorry. 110 to $114 area. nicole: that is better than $147. we remember all of these numbers well because we, you know have been following this. how does this translate into gasoline prices papers? >> well, the gasoline price relative to the barrel has actually traded lower. as barrels leave storage in cushing, that is the delivery point for nymex crude oil they have been able to get to the gulf. the price, called the crack spread. nicole: right. >> the crack spread as storage loosened up the crack spread has

tended to trade lower. right now you get $16 per barrel of gasoline. that price was well into the 20. >> so that part is okay. when you spend a lot of time doing a lot of homework and you were telling me that you travel regularly to houston to, calgary. what are you finding most recently? >> well there is a, there's an excitement about the new developments in the energy markets. it's, the oil sands in canada, the shale situation here in the states. the development of rail lines to move crude oil. the development of new pipeline to move crude oil. the potential for export facilities for natural gas. there is all these new avenues that are opening up that brings opportunity. nicole: i love how you're excited. we love guests that get excited about whatever they're speaking of. i was so passionate. i was looking at apache, they have exposure to libya and now may be affected and one of the analysts made a call on apache.

do you have particular stocks and oil invests you like more than others quickly. >> not really. my forte is the futures market. i will look at etfs. several different etfs every morning as a function what is going on in the futures market. nicole: right. >> many etfs are getting leaned on rather hard today. as in the futures market. i believe this is a temporary pullback that we'll test the highs. nicole: bob, of mizuho, we appreciate you coming on. we had the big guy, the president of your firm. he was a great guest as well. obviously talking a lot about investing in japan. thanks a lot, bob, we appreciate your insight. ashley: jpmorgan shares under pressure as the bank's legal woes are rising. "the new york times" is investigating whether the sec is investigating whether the jpmorgan gave jobs to children of chinese officials in order to win business. that plus other regulatory probes could force jpmorgan to

absorb $6.8 billion in future legal losses. this in addition to the billions it already shelled out in the "london whale" probe and others, the payout put jpmorgan on track for a place, bank of america by the way is the financial firm with the biggest legal bills. that is not a list you want to be on top of. but it does appear they are in the cross-hairs of a lot of investigations. nicole: when we talk about the financials, obviously they're under so much pressure and scrutiny. many times it is right thing to do. ashley: it is. i wonder how many companies who do business in china end up hiring of officials there they're dealing with. i wonder. nicole: we were talking about that earlier this morning. if you were a private company that hired somebody may be a great worker over somebody else and you have a business and want the business to do well, ultimately seeps like a great idea, doesn't it? ashley: also the culture of chinese culture is a little different. anyway that is under investigation. nicole: apple shares enjoying a

thank you. ashley: welcome of the bond market is on the move with the benchmark treasury yield sitting near 2-year highs and extending last week's gains. the question is how can investors hedge themselves against the risk of the rising rates. joining us now, head of fixed-income strategy. thank you for joining us. i mean, is a spike testified and how can we protect ourselves if we are in the bond market? >> well, if you're looking where interest rates are right now, the treasury market the tenure, basically back where we were two years ago really when we were in the middle of the beginning of the qe program. really pushing interest rates down. market is exiting, the fed is stepping back. tapir is expected to start principal and now expecting that interest rates will rise back to a more normal level that does not include the insolence of the fed. in terms of what investors are doing, we are generally seeing people move into shorter

duration shorter maturity less interest-rate sensitive parts of the market. a lot of short maturity corporate bonds. csj, and etf. a investing in short corporates. those are bonds that provide income, less impacted by rising interest rates. ashley: as we see, the union is challenging the bankruptcy in detroit that, whether it is constitutional or not to, what about the municipal bond field. is still an opportunity? does not seem as though the reaction for detroit has been that extreme. in fact, it has just been somewhat negligent or at least very little fallout from the detroit situation. >> most investors in the market viewed detroit as a 1-off. very unique circumstances. to your point there will be a likely protracted debate or legal battle about what they have to pay back the law will end up happening see the general

obligation bondholders. at think if you look at the market more generally that news has weighed on the market along with higher interest rates. they have not done very well of recent fight. they may be challenged over the next couple of weeks due to seasonal. september is never a good month historically. coming out of that we feel like investors will come back. it is a place where you can still get yield. you generally have high quality investment. it still plays a very strong role in the muslim portfolio. ashley: an investor who is looking for yield that does not want that exposed to much risks to the increasing interest rates, what is my best ploy? >> it depends upon how you think about fixed-income in your portfolio. we have a lot of investors who have felt traditional, cork, fixed-income portfolios and things like ag, index fund. i still think jerk going to see investors use funds like that because it will provide income and diversified you against risky actors like equity. to your question you want to be

more tactical, you're seeing people go into shorter duration bonds, places where you can still pick up deals.orter invese corporate bond is a place we still see investors go and provides attractive yield to risk characteristics. and municipal is a little beaten down right now. maybe a good place to be down the road. it's the combination. ashley: this seems to me, the next set of the federal reserve has also helped to spike these ten year yields because of his desire to begin tapering sooner than later. would you agree? >> i think the general view out there right now is that sommers is viewed as being a more hawkish. essentially you might be a little more aggressive. on the other hand, more inside the current camp with bernanke and the rest of the folks to look forward. so i think we will have to wait and see what happens, but these people should not underestimate the potential change in

sentiment and a change in philosophy that may happen on the board once we move into the new appointment and have a new head of the fed board. ashley: very good. matt tucker a black rock. thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. tracy: breaking news. crude snapping. ashley: closing down, a slight move lower finishing the day at $107.10 per barrel. tracy: more and more of the top names on wall street dumping and slashing positions in apple for the second straight quarter. elizabeth macdonald has the names of big guns leading the trend. >> bears are out in force in the second quarter. what is really interesting, you have been reporting this. apple has been on of wild ride, rocket ship ride up and down this year losing and then regaining 120 billion in market cap since january 11th. so that is amazing. broke down below 400 in may and in june. so when you see the year to date

share? is it a new gadget? what will apple do to break through that threshold? tracy: when we saw it break below 400, 700, that was a really big deal because people were buying. you were hearing target 7,000. people got in at 600 thought there were the lucky ones. then pretty frustrated. tracy: a quick question. is that deal with china mobile, will that be enough to permanently pushed apple above $500? tracy: that certainly sounds like good exposure. i read something else, some of the insiders are reporting that apple may unveil an unexpected new television product later in the fall. so is that something different, new? and still waiting for the watch. >> one final point. the moves here in the second quarter, a little bit bearish. basically buying puts against their position in apple. tracy: i love your in-depth
